"A letter was sent FROM this
county without any address thereon
save the return one. 1t arrived SAFE
ly IN Minneapolis where the follow
ing legend was written on its face:
"Mister: Entered at the post Office
at Minneapolis Minnesota as second
class matter" 1t was returned and
is now at our post Office.
Next Monday evening is regu-
lar in Rabboni Chapter and Taes-
day evening in Coteau Lodge, A. 7.
It A. NJ. Here is a coincidence.
The time for the regular meeting in
the Blue Lodge is the first and
third Tuesdays in each month and
in the Chapter the second and forth
Mondays. They started out two
weeks apart and yet their next meet
ing will only be "a hours apart.
How long will it be before their
meetings will be only one day apart
after next week.
The prospect now is that this
county will get no term of court till
some time during the last two
months OF this year. A beautiful
condition of affairs truly. Prisoners
rottlng in Jail, and matters hanging
that ought to be adjusted according
to the law These are some Of the
royal beauties of a territorial con-
dition.
Hereafter postal notes viii be
payable at ''any money order office "
This is, We think, great mistake
on the part of the government. Pos
tai notes were none too safe before
this change, and now any one into
whose hands they happen to come,
by mistake or otherwise, can take
them to any money order office and
draw the money on them.
Commissioners Hazleden arrived
in our city Monday about one o'clock
to attend the regular session of the
board, having travelled the whole
distance from his home to this place
sixteen miles, on snow shoes. He
reports nearly double the snow in
Grenyille township that we have
here. The gentleman showed
good share OF energy and pluck in
making the trip IN the way he did.
Sons Of Veterans.

lors or marines of the late rebellion

day and who favor organizing
camp of Sons of Veterans at Web
ster will meet at the office of E.
Huntington on Saturday, Feb. 18th
81, at Z o'clock p. M, to take such

On Saturday last, special
meeting of the st. Mary's Guild was
held at the residence of Mrs. Hash,
when they voted to postpone their
lsociables in honor of the season of
Lent, but during the intersin will
have meetings of the members alone
to strengthen the bonds of sister
hood and discuss methods for the
promotion of the society. Mr.. a.
Smith was unanimously elected an
honorary member of the special
meeting, however it was without
the privilege of voting.
How to Observation-Disclosures
by the year," said an old experienced
business man. cit is cheaper and
yields better return IN proportion
to the money invested. An adver-
tisement should always be before the
public in some shape. If 1t disap-
pears it is soon forgotten, those that
remain have superiority and advan-
tage of the competitor. There is
only one excuse for the discontinu
ance of an adyertisement--that of
retiring from business.
Mrs. Chaplin was brought to
the city on Monday and adjudged
insane by Commissioners Harris and
Egeland. The case is sad one.
Mrs. c., has been running down for
the last seven years, being a great
deal of that time confined to her
bed. About three months ago the
first pronounced symptoms of in
sanity, since which time her hus-
band has been with her constantly,
until last week, she became SO vio-
lent that he found it necessary to
take her to an asylum. On Monday
evening she was taken to the asylum
at Yankton. The physicians here
think the case very serious one.
